Excellent college in high school offerings, community spirit, great sports programs.

This was our third year at JMQ, and this year had a significant decline. A new principal was instated, and she was not engaged. It was rare to see her or receive any communication.My child was in 4th grade for the 2024-2025 school year, and the two primary teachers, home room and subject specific class initiated no communication regarding student status. There were no parent - teacher conferences offered this year. When visiting the school, attempting to engage the homeroom teacher for input was very poor. As compared to the previous two years to this past school year, it has been night and day different. This is not acceptable for our students.

As someone who went to Judson for 7th and 8th grade and as someone who has an adult has been a correctional officer for multiple years, if you want your children to grow up already being institutionalized this is the perfect place. The school is run very very similar to a detention center / prison. And they think far too highly of themselves in regards to conduct. The staff likes to think of themselves as morally above everyone else and prioritize grades over what they're instituting in the children in day-to-day life.
